Description:
The "table editor" dialog box is always on top, which serves no purpose at all.

How to repeat:
1. Open MySQL administrator
2. Open the table editor
3. Perform a function that will require a long time to execute on the SQL server, e.g. add a new key to a big table.
4. Hit "apply changes" -- the window will remain to the front of your screen for a long time.
5. Switch to a different application, the window will remain on top of all your other windows and will prevent any useful work from being done.

Suggested fix:
Make this dialog box normal and not "always on top"

Thank you for a bug report. Verified just as described on Windows XP SP2.

This seems to be a bug of Windows 2000 because on Windows XP the Table Editor dialog just stays on top of the MySQL Administrator window.

The reason for keeping the dialog on top is, that only one Table Editor can be opened.
